A Morning prayer of St. Paiosios the Great Christianity. Orthodoxy. Catholicism. Sense of life. Prayers.
If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.                If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.                If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.                Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with.

A Morning prayer of St. Paiosios the Great
   

O Lord Jesus Christ my God, give me a good, sinless, and spotless day.
O Lord, forsake me not.
O Lord, do not stand afar off from me
O Lord, stretch out to me a helping hand.
O Lord, support me with the fear of Thee.
O Lord, plant this fear and the love for Thee in my heart.
O Lord, teach me to do Thy will.
O Lord, grant mourning and humility to my heart.
O Lord, give me unceasing tears, compunction, and remembrance of death.
O Lord, free me from every temptation of soul and body.
O Lord, expel from me every unclean thought, and every shameful and improper imagination.
O Lord, wipe out of me the negligence, the indolence, the sorrow, the forgetfulness, the insensitivity, the hardness, and the captivity of my mind.
O Lord, have mercy on me, as Thou knowest and as Thou dost wish, and forgive all my transgressions.
And grant that my pitiful soul may depart from my wretched body in quietude, in good repentance, in unhesitating confession, and in pure and spotless faith.
Amen.
